New faces from France released

23 March, 2007

This year's France Under One Roof tasting saw a bevy of brand launches and extensions from top suppliers.

Bottle Green launched premium Rhône brand Palais des Anciens. The range has been developed in partnership with Rhône-based Vignobles de Peloux and initially comprises five wines, priced from £5.99 to £14.99.

Bottle Green marketing manager Liam Grand said: "The Rhône's current performance in the UK suggests consumers are returning to provenance-based products. Palais des Anciens provides the consumer with premium wine quality and traditional packaging that communicates a real feel of history and heritage."
